Résumé:

After a brief review of a covariant approach to loop quantum gravity and of important notion of projected spin networks, I revise the spin foam quantization procedure of 4-dimensional general relativity. In particular, I discuss how the simplicity and the closure constraints should be implemented and demonstrate the precise agreement between the canonical and the path integral quantizations at the kinematical level.
